Sometimes it sure does, especially manuals. It's only bad during flares.


Sorry, was having dinner. The seats and parts of the interior are from a similar year Bentley Cont donor. Repainted Ivory and had some re-chrome. Barry White pimp, IMO.






Well?

Edit: Oh, ignore the Hefty bags, they have old parts from the interior in them.

Looks like a very nice way to travel! beerchug.gif

Dude - that blue velour carpet is awesome! I think I could snuggle into it and drift blissfully off to sleep...

I'm also thinking about this to match the walnut in the dash:



What do you think about 3" whitewalls?

I do think the current steering wheel looks too plain. The walnut is much better. The whitewalls would also be cool - as long as someone else is keeping them clean!

Looks amazing! Was there any issues getting the Bentley seats in it? I like the Walnut steering wheel as well if you could get the middle of it done white (or blue like the dash). I know Nardi makes nice wood steering wheels as well, might want to look into them. Not sure if they would match your dash as well though. White walls would look great too.

They're almost identical models except for badges, so it should have been. I'm not sure about the steering wheel but I'd imagine I can get the metal anodized black to match the column.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw the pics.  Something about the bottom half looks "naked" to me without them.

How about getting the steering column enameled in white to match the dash instead?

Probably not, that looks like it would be a lot of work to pull that. Getting the wheel anodized wouldn't be any big thing.



After seeing this, I think I may be changing my 12C color. Wow.
